We stand united in sisterhood
Working together on the same team
Younger and Older, Joining as one
Shoulder to Shoulder, For the same dream
Well, well, well
Look who's finally become a member of NAWSA
Oh no, I'm only in town for tomorrow's NAACP Conference
Care to give a quote for the Chicago Daily?
You can quote from my address as Distinguished Guest Speaker
So you've agreed to speak at your hundredth white women's convention?
Are you just here to sow dissension?
Don't you resent that you're a prop they trot out at events?
NAWSA presents our rich little Negro mascot:
"Come hear her preach!"
"See?"
"We have no race hatred"
"We let Mary make a speech!"
If I didn't speak
They wouldn't even mention race
I tolerate their system
'Cause that's the only way they'll ever listen to our case
But when their system wants you dead, what then?
I can't have this out with you again
Why are you fighting me?
I am not the enemy
Ladies, a photograph please?
We stand united in sisterhood
Working together on the same team
Before our formal program continues
Let's entertain a brief diversion from our junior Washington D.C. committee
Vote Wilson Out!
Vote Wilson Out!
Vote Wilson Out!
Vote Wilson Out!
My fellow Suffs
That should be NAWSA's rallying cry this fall
It's time to show Wilson that NAWSA Suffs are the vanguard of the future
It's time to show him we're not just some gaggle of irrelevant old fogies
